The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Guildhall York Yorkshire and The Humber

Best, warm place to enjoy authentic Japanese food. I cannot believe such amazing experience. Thank you.

Although I was in the mood for a matcha, I wish I took a longer look at the menu beforehand: there were several teas I wouldn’t have minded trying. People wanting to sit in were being turned away- it’s popular on Saturdays!

Superb fresh sushi, authentic atmosphere. Would advise booking in advance.

Bao where great but a very small portion. The sharing plates where all instantly forgettable unfortunately. All food arrived cold or cool at best. Previously visited at Spark and thought it was far better (Bao and Ramen on a few occasions). Total bill felt overpriced for the amount of food served. Disappointed overall.

Shocking experience - don't go. The open kitchen was a shocking mess, staff were miserable. Only one waiter serving about 12 tables, so massively slow. I ordered a green tea and had to remind the waiter after 15 minutes. Loads of options were off the menu and the same sad four plates of old sushi went around the conveyor belt for the hour plus that we were in there. I heard another customer ordering a beer, to be told they had run out that day - but previous reviews have reported no beer in stock so this is obviously a lie. I don't blame the staff - but the management obviously take York as a tourist town for granted and don't keep the place clean, properly staffed, or stocked. Absolutely diabolical.
